The Lakeside Colosseum is a stage in Soulcalibur II and Soulcalibur III. It is located in northern Italy or probably in Rome. What is the most primitive, most appalling, yet most exciting sport? The answer lies in ancient Rome. It is the Colosseum, where men bet their lives in combat. On a certain lake shore exists a secret arena constructed to recreate that world. Men of power who have already exhausted all other luxuries the world has to offer come here to watch men fight for their lives. This place was built in search of this ultimate stimulation.
